The Handmaid's Tale
While I was reading this book, I was immersed in the story. Great writers, I think, craft so well that they completely hide their craftsmanship, allowing us to see the creation only. They don't show off how intelligent they are.
Now, after finishing it, after letting all of it sink in my mind, I can see what a great writer she is. She has a profound knowledge of dystopian society. What sort of situation gives birth to a dystopia, how they control, manipulate, kill, invoke obedience and above all manufacturer mass consent for all of their actions.
This book is also important because of its authentic feminine voice and feminist nature.
The Handmaid's Tale is a futuristic dystopian novel by Canadian author Margaret Atwood published in 1985. It is set in a near-future New England in a patriarchal, totalitarian theonomic state known as the Republic of Gilead, which has overthrown the United States government.
